"Raya was garbage on those goals" lol did you watch? first goal he has two great saves and no one clears the ball kiwior falls down and Pepe gets a tap in. Second goal Raya has a great save and the ball falls right to a Vilarreal player for a tap in. third goal Merino losses the ball and they have a 1v1 was Raya and he has a great finish. but yeah "Raya was garbage"

Elementary level shite to not parry the ball directly in the most dangerous part of the field

At the risk of derailing the relegation talk going on here, just wanted to pop in to say I’ll be at the Emirates for the Forest match. Pretty pumped, and thanks to blueman for hooking us up.

Hopefully they have figured out how to score from open play by then.

Nobody wants to play in the middle, except Jorgi. And also, obvious why we were better with Jesus. Havertz and Merino don't move around enough.

My eyes also didn't deceive me when I watch the games and wonder why Havertz spends a lot of time on the right wing.

Merino is just not a good midfielder. Hes not good out of possession and does nothing offensively unless he’s playing CF or crashing the box. Cant dribble or carry past anyone, isn’t good at receiving under pressure and he makes a lot of fouls defensively

tYFYS, but I wouldn’t be sad to see him go.

Hell yeah gyokeres drawing a booking early.


Wonder what the coaches are telling Martinelli. I would show him a video of the play he had and show him how he never looked up. Just take a glance.

I like how sometimes rice is deeper and Cala is further up.


Inverting the left back and pushing the lcm up worked with xhaka because he was such a red card risk closer to our goal.


That was a good example. Rice picks the ball up between the cbs then fires it forward. And we are up the field in milliseconds.

Hell yeah.


Gyokeres involved again.


We cooking boys!


I know it’s just one half. But Zubi and Gyokeres make our starting 11 better.

You can see why Liverpool and Madrid wanted him.


He’s deceptively athletic. In some of those training videos you could see how ripped he was.

The physicality of the league would have been the only thing I was worried about but he will be fine. Especially if we play with him and rice as this pivot.

That was awesome.

Gyokeres might not be as good as Havertz with the flick ons but he will be fine trying to head crosses for goals.

Gyokeres is gonna single handedly bully the frick out of small teams

Which arguably has cost us the league 3 years running

That was impressive from Kai.


This is good. Both of them can push each other.
